November 2014 Newsletter

 

 

 

 

Dr. Anwanzi Ahui of Clinic Centrale Abobo never felt right turning away patients who wished to receive HIV testing and services in the private sector. He knew that many people from all income levels felt uncomfortable accessing HIV services from the public sector due to stigma. However, without a mechanism for offering testing or HIV medication in the private sector, he resigned himself to turning people away, knowing those people may choose to forego treatment completely. When Dr. Ahui heard about a pilot private sector network for HIV, supported by the SHOPS project, he was intrigued. He knew there was a ready market, so he signed on to be part of the pilot.
